About this concert
ARIA Award-nominated future-soul superstar Ngaiire returns to the Sydney Opera House for a genre-defying concert with the Sydney Symphony and GODTET.
In 2022, Ngaiire and the Sydney Symphony gave a sold-out performance on the Forecourt as part of Sydney Opera House's 50th anniversary celebrations, with thousands of people captivated by this extraordinary performer and now Ngaiire returns to where it all began.
Described by Rolling Stone as ‘a near perfect slice of hushed future soul,’ this award-winning singer-songwriter is back to combine her innovative fusion of electronic future-soul, gospel and R&B pop with the powerful sounds of the Sydney Symphony. Celebrating the release of a new live album from that Forecourt concert, Ngaiire will perform songs that made her famous.
Opening the concert will be a driving force of Sydney’s local scene, GODTET, performing their GODTET +STRINGS project with members of the Sydney Symphony. The brainchild of Australian instrumentalist and producer Godriguez, GODTET perform meditative, improvisational jazz that has captivated audiences around the nation.
